VMware Acquire Rabbit Technologies

Rabbit Technologies is an open source software company based in
the United Kingdom. SpringSource, a division of Vmware, will add
the RabbitMQ
open messaging system to its suite of technologies. RabbitMQ is
based on the AMQP open standard, and has a platform-neutral
distribution, in addition to platform-specific packages and
bundles.

“While messaging has always been a key infrastructure element
used in the creation of enterprise applications, cloud applications
require a fundamentally different messaging infrastructure,” said
Rod Johnson, the general manager of SpringSource. “By adding
RabbitMQ to our suite, SpringSource can extend its emerging
application platform with another element of technology that is
critical to modern virtual and cloud deployment models.”
